Dove 60 Second Treatment Shot Review

I received this Dove Treatment Shot in a Glossybox last year but I have only recently got around to using. This is a treatment that can be used to repair damaged hair. To use it you apply it to your hair leave it on for a minute and then wash it off. I used this instead of using a conditioner when I washed my hair, I left it on for a minute and then washed it off. I didn’t notice it repair any damage but I doubted that it would as you only get one use out of the shot. I did notice that it made my hair feel very soft and smooth. I thought this treatment was nice as it did leave my hair feeling very nice however each shot costs £1.49 which is quite a lot considering you only get one use out of it. I would rather buy a hair mask or a treatment conditioner as you get a lot more uses out of them and therefore they are better value for money. I would maybe consider purchasing it again if I was planning on treating my hair.

March Empties

Today I thought I would share with you my March empties as I have quite a few products that I used up in March.

I'll start with makeup empties. I used up 2 mascaras. I am one of those beauty bloggers who has a lot of mascaras on the go and even though they go out of date I often use them past this time because I don't like wasting a product. The first mascara I used was the MUA Extreme Curl which I wasn't a massive fan of. I don't particularly like curved wands as I find them very awkward to work with. I also found that this mascara didn't really make my lashes hold their curl any more than other mascaras so I wouldn't get this mascara again. I finished the Jemma Kidd I- Define Mascara which I quite liked although when I removed it with a micellar water it would flake off so I would end up with black bits of mascara on my face which was annoying although it stayed put during the day so I don't know what was wrong with it. I used up the clear nail polish from Rimmel I used this as a base coat and top coat and it was ok. It is a much cheaper option than some of the base coats and top coats on the market. 

I used the Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner, I buy the travel versions of these to keep in my travel bag and they are ok for the occasional use but I wouldn't want to use them all the time. They don't do anything special to your hair other than cleaning it and making it smell nice. The next haircare item I used up was the Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner. I really liked this conditioner it left my hair feeling so soft and it smelt amazing. 

I didn't actually finish the Nivea Express Hydration Primer but I had to throw it out because it dried out my skin and made it all flaky. I didn't like it a lot which is a shame as I normally like Nivea products. I used the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Wipes I mainly use wipes to remove swatches and any makeup mistakes. I do sometimes use them to remove makeup and these were ok. They weren't anything special they were soft and removed my makeup. 

I finished the Nivea lip balm which I love. I use this all the time before going to bed as it is thick and creamy and really moisturising. I always have at least one of these in my collection. My last empty is the Skin Wisdom Day Spa Vanilla and Neroli Body Butter which I got from Tesco. I loved this body butter as it smelt amazing and was really moisturising. It left a nice residue on my skin that left it feeling very smooth. I would get this again if I didn't have so many other body butters to use up.

March Glossybox 2014

Today I wanted to share with you what I got in my March Glossybox. I know it is the end of March now but I still wanted to share mine with you. I got mine on Thursday as I ordered it earlier in the week. My parents got me a 3 month subscription as part of my birthday present. I plan to do full reviews of the products in separate posts.

On opening the box I was pleased with what I had received. The box is well packaged and is nicely presented. It comes with a little magazine which I enjoyed having a look through and it also comes with a card telling you what products are inside and where you can get them from. I am going to order the products below showing you the ones that I was most excited for. 

When I saw the Bellapierre mineral eyeshadow I was really excited. I have recently bought a few things from this brand in TK Maxx which I will be showing in  a separate post. I got the shade Diligence which I was really pleased with as it is a gorgeous bronze colour so I will get a lot of use out of it. 

I was happy to see something from Sleek in the box, I haven't tried many things from Sleek so I was looking forward to trying this. I got the shade Chocolate Kiss which is quite a sheer colour. I like the shade as it allows me to try the formula and if I like it I can buy a brighter shade.  

I really like using treatments on my hair as I love making my hair feel soft. I am looking forward to trying this as I have tried a conditioner from the Dove haircare range and I really liked that so I have high hopes for this. 

Some people don't like getting perfume samples but I quite like getting them as I use them when I go travelling as they are so small to put in your bag. I got samples of the new Juicy Couture Malibu perfumes which I am looking forward to trying. When I was reading other people's blogs I noticed people got different things. Some people got a serum and others got sachets of self tan. I would have quite liked to try the serum but I'm glad I got the perfume samples instead of the self tan as I wouldn't use it. 

This is probably the thing that I am least excited to see. It is a body cream from the brand Mitchell & Peach which is an English brand. It does smell quite nice but it is something that I would never purchase the full size as it is £36 which is really expensive for a body cream. 

I am really impressed with my first box and I am looking forward to getting my next months box.

Small Haul February 2014

Today I thought I would share with you a few bits and pieces that I have picked up recently.

I picked up some Batiste Dry Shampoo in the Tropical scent. I previously had the Blush scent which I hated but I really wanted to give dry shampoo another go as it can be really useful for refreshing your hair. I also picked up the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance I love this leave in conditioner it smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling really soft. 

I had already tried and loved this Dove conditioner so I thought I would get another bottle and as it was buy one get one free I decided to pick up the shampoo. They smell amazing and leave my hair feeling so soft. 

I then picked  up a few skincare items. I got the Garnier Micellar Water as I had seen it on a lot of blogs and I really wanted to give it a go. I love micellar waters and I am currently using the L'Oreal one which I love. I'd heard great things about the Botanics All Bright Toner so I thought I would get it as my current toner has nearly ran out. I saw the Simple Eye Balm and thought that I would give it a go I've had really dark circles recently and I thought that this might make me look more awake. 

I picked this hand wash up from the Body Shop, the Vanilla Bliss range is one of my favourites but you can only get it at Christmas so when I saw this hand wash I knew that I had to get it. 

I got this gorgeous feather/leaf necklace from Dorothy Perkins it was a bargain at £2 and I really love it. It is quite simple and it will go with so many outfits. The last thing I picked up was the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Blue Grape I really like the look of Nails Inc Baker Street but £11 is a lot to spend on a nail polish so I was looking for a similar colour in Boots. I saw this one and as I knew I already liked this range I thought I would give it a go. I love the colour and the shiny finish just makes it look even better.

Have you bought anything recently?
